It's what Britain celebrates on the 4th of July

You mean its one of those yank holidays?

Oh, I see. It's giving thanks that the native american indians fed and
helped the new settlers, meanwhile those very same settlers were
planning genocide to grab their land.

A pretty gruesome thing to celebrate, all-in-all

That'd be: Yank Hols.

History is in the mind of the interpreter, and you show no grasp of
early American history at all. Most early settlers thought they were
camping for the Brits, and had no idea how prone the native population
was to European diseases nor to alcoholism.

But thanks for your cheery take.
